Quest[]

Tithonus is plotting a rebellion against Zeus for making him immortal but not making him youthful thus resulting him to suffer because of old age. To take his revenge, he plans to transfer his soul to a body of a demigod making him immortal AND powerful, with the help of Raveena, a witch and a daughter of Hecate. (Also with the help of Raveena, from being a grasshopper, he was turned back into a human but still old and frail.) Paige and her friends are asked to prevent the rebellion from happening.

Eternal shepherd, despised of young age,

Possessed such half-blood, of vengeful rage.

On prosperous Gaul lightning shall turn the act,

Doom of death befall on those who made their pact.

The following message took place during a dream:

Dear Paige,

Hello there, my daughter, how are you doing? I hope you are doing just fine. Listen dear, Zeus needs your help and well, he is too ashamed to admit that he needs help from a demigod. So, I’ve decided to just do it myself since you are my daughter. There will be a great rebellion coming. However, we do not know who is planning all this and where this person, if it is a person, is residing. There is some strong magic that blocks our vision. He is doing a good job in hiding from us. I do not actually know what Zeus is talking about but he said that a daughter of mine can be our only hope so, I chose you. We need you on this quest to stop the rebellion or else… well, we do not actually know what might happen next.

Oh, and my dear, I’ve got more news for you. Your father, I believe you can finally find him. However, I also do not know where he is. I can just feel it! I just know that you will finally find him.

I apologize for making you go on this quest without having any idea where the rebel is. But I do know where you can start—in Spain, specifically in Madrid. That garden—Oh! Garden! Haha! Go to Sabatini Gardens and you shall find Proteus, the wise old sea god. Try asking him where you can find the rebel. I’m sure he knows.

Well, Paige, that is all it. Go and save us. You could be our only hope. Prevent the rebellion from beginning. I know you can do it! I trust in you.

Oh! Wait! Another thing, dear. If you succeed, we shall grant you one wish. Anything you want. Just say the word. Alright, goodbye for now, my little flower.

Airport[]

The four half-bloods have already arrived at the airport.

Paige: She had her messenger bag on her back. She was carrying their tickets with her. As she walked, she looked at the tickets in her hands. It was as though they weighed tons. It was like the tickets to their demise. What are you doing? Are you really going to betray them? she thought. Her hands started to shake and her heart began to beat faster. Then she suddenly remembered the lines of the prophecy:

Eternal shepherd, despised of young age,

Possessed such half-blood, of vengeful rage.

On prosperous Gaul lightning shall turn the act,

Doom of death befall on those who made their pact.

She let out a shaky breath. But dad... mom said I'd see again, she thought, There must be some other way where no one will die. She didn't understand all of the lines but she did know that someone will, in fact, die. She kept it to herself. She never told anyone of the prophecy.

Sebastian: He walks up 'Sup read it and weep' he yawns his mouth going wide as he swings his shoulder bag around 'So early, why couldn't have started like at 3 pm or something, not 10 am, far to early' he mumbled and sighed 'I'm still getting over a hangover' he mumbles leaning against the wall.

Paige: She didn't realize she was staring blankly at the tickets.

Sebastian: He waves a hand in front of her face 'Hello? Earth to read it and weep? Hows your time in Mars, sunny?' he rolled his eyes at her, slightly smiling in amusement.

Paige: She then snapped back to reality. "Oh! Um... here," she said as she handed the tickets over to them.

Sebastian: He raised an eyebrow 'Thanks?'

Cody: He was yawning. His hair in a mess from all the ruffling because he was still so sleepy. Did he ever tell anyone that he wasn't a morning person? Apparently not. He didn't even know what they were supposed to do, all he knows is that, he would be down for a fight. And he loves that more than anything. "I don't know how you guys can talk so early in the morning." He said in a groggy voice.

Sebastian: 'Try dealing it with a hangover' he mumbles yawning, rubbing his temples with his free hand. 'Maybe I shouldn't have drunk so much last night' he says yawning again.

Amanda: She was rather awake compared to the boys, which didn't make her any less silent though. This was her first quest. She had been worried she'll mess it up from the second she set foot at the airport.

Paige: "Amanda?" She gave her the ticket and smiled at her. She touched her shoulder and said, "Everything alright?"

Amanda: She gave her a smile smile, gathering herself up. "Yeah, it is."

Paige: She patted her shoulder. "Okay." Then she walked back a few steps and said, "Alright. So... let's go aboard. No time to waste."

Sebastian: He nodded yawning a bit 'Yeah sooner the we get on, I can go to sleep'

Amanda: She glared at Sebastian. "Just try to stay awake..." Amanda said, adding a little bit of charmspeak in her words. It was the first time she actually used her powers on Sebastian, and it felt weird. She shrugged it off, heading towards the plain with the others.

Sebastian: 'I'll try...' he mumbled then blinked and scowled at Amanda but said nothing more.

Cody: His eyes were closed, trying to doze back to sleep on an airport bench as he waits for the others. He could say that it was his first time on a quest, but he sure has a lot of experiences when it comes to adventures. Rule number 4, never go on one lacking sleep. "....." He lowered his head almost fully asleep as his backpack was slinging over his shoulder, about to fall off.

Paige: She noticed Cody falling asleep. She approached him once more and touched his shoulder. She shook him a little. "Cody," she tried to wake him up. "Cody."

Cody: "Yeah--huh--what." he suddenly blinked his eyes open, sitting up straight to pretend he wasn't asleep at all. "Oh-- are we going now? You guys are really taking long. Should we go? yeah I thnk so too." He spoke really quickly, standing up and walked towards where Amanda and Sebastian were.

Sebastian: He looked over at Cody then pulled out a cigeratte from his back pocket and placed it in his mouth 'yeah we should, I want to make the people in the plane angry by my smoke' he smirked as he lit it and took a drag then breathed it out and it floated to the ceiling.

Paige: "Ehem," she said clearing her throat to get Sebastian's attention. She squinted his eyes at him giving him the what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.

Sebastian: He looked at her in amusement, and took another drag of the smoke then breathing out the smoke onto her face. 'Yes, read it and weep, is something wrong?' he smiled innocently at her as if he wasn't breaking any laws at the moment.

Paige: She coughed and waved her hand to get rid of the smoke. "Get rid of that!"

Sebastian: He raised an eyebrow and his smirk grew bigger as he twirled the smoke inbetween his teeth 'Get rid of what?'

Paige: "Ugh!" Now she's pissed off. "Will someone talk to him?" She turned and walked ahead.

Airplane[]

Now, they approached the flight attendant and gave their tickets to her. She led them to the plane and surprisingly, there weren't many people in it. You could even count them in your fingers. There were actually only five of them. Three were old ladies and two were men--one young man and an old man. They were all in different seats.

Paige: She turned to the flight attendant. She saw her name tag and, well, dyslexia acting up. The letters of her name were all jumbled making it hard for her to read, of course. "Uhm... Ms... N-Na..." she said, trying to read her name.

Flight Attendant: "Natalie," she said with a smile.

Paige: "Oh," she replied, "Right. So... Ms. Natalie, why are there very few people here?"

FA Natalie: "Well, ma'am, you and your friends and these people are actually winners of our promo!"

Paige: "Uh... promo?" She didn't know there were having promos. She wasn't even notified.

Sebastian: He walked up smiling at Natalie the cigeratte gone and his hands were in his pockets and said charmingly 'Natalie! Its nice to meet you in person, and why thank you for letting my entry for the promo through, let alone win it, I am entirely grateful at that'

FA Natalie: She gave him a sweet smile and said, "Nice to meet you, as well, sir." She turned to the others, "Well, sir, ma'am. You may now take your seats and the plane will be taking off in a few minutes. Enjoy your flight." As she walked out of the plane, Paige's and her eyes met and a smirk formed on her face just before she continued walking and finally left the plane.

Paige: She wasn't sure if what she saw was real. Natalie, the flight attendant smirked at her. Why would she do that? Then, she shook her head thinking that was just crazy. She was just being paranoid. Relax, Paige. You're just seeing things. Maybe you're just stressed. Go on and take a seat, she tried to make herself feel at ease.

Sebastian: He walked in front of her down the aisle, obviously relaxed enough that he was taking his jacket which he always wears off showing a tattoo on his arm, the tattoo was of a dagger with a snake wrapped around the hilt its head looking straight at them and he threw the jacket in the over head compartment and went to the window seat and gazed out of it with wide eyes smiling a bit 'Relax Paige, just a hot flight attendant' he said turning his eyes to her then turned back to the window.

Amanda: She had taken a seat next to the two. At Sebastian's words, she rolled her eyes. "Don't you think she's a bit too old for you?"

Sebastian: 'Not really and mind you I was the one to get the promo's because of flirting so don't complain' he beamed at her then stared out the window again.

Amanda: She starred at her knees, for a few minutes. She tried to find a topic to break the ice. "So... How does it feel like?" Amanda asked. "I mean, how does it feel like being in your father's realm...?"

Sebastian: He searched for the right word then smiled 'Peaceful'

Amanda: She nodded. "It must be nice, feeling at home."

Cody: COdy was slower than usual. In fact, he didn't bring much at all because he was half-asleep while he was packing. Winners, huh? He saw heard her name, Natalie. He flashed a smile in her direction and walked up to her. "Natalie, I've always loved that name. So beautiful. Like the one who wears it." He chuckled and winked at he passed her by. HIs day was getting better already. He kept walking until he found his seat beside Sebastian. "Oh, great."

Sebastian: He yawned in Cody's general direction 'Sorry not in the mood to argue.' he muttered then turned back to the window, his fingers trailing the tattoo on his arm.

Paige: She breathed in and out then looked for a seat. She thought, Maybe we could sit anywhere since there are lots of empty seats. She shrugged then just walked to the seat nearest to her. She put her bag on the empty seat beside her by the window since no one was there then she sat down. Her seat was away from the others. She just didn't feel like getting close to them... a feeling of guilt perhaps. She didn't understand herself, as well.

Cody: He agreed. No way was he in the mod to argue. Not so early in the morning. "Good, you're gonna keep your pie hole shut then." He slumped to the window seat, plugging in his new headphones to sleep the whole flight.

Amanda: She face palmed. She noticed that Paige wasn't near them, which made her feel uneasy. Maybe she didn't want to have to "babysit" the boys. She let that thought slip as she digger in to her purse, taking a pocket book out if it.

The plane started to takeoff but they experienced turbulence as it did, which was very strange, as if the pilot they have wasn't trained enough to even fly the thing. There wasn't even any announcements saying the plane would be taking off or 'it's gonna be a bumpy ride', at least. But by the time the plane was already in the air, everything got smooth like the ride wasn't all bumpy earlier. It's as if they still on the ground--just a normal plane ride.

Paige: "Whoa..." For a moment, she could feel her heart was about to get out of her chest. She gripped the arms of her seat during the bumpy ride. But when it finally stopped, she let go. She looked behind her to see how the others were doing. She saw the other people--the mortals, at least that's what she thought they were, and they looked very fine as if they felt nothing. Strange.... Then, she asked her companions with a bit of anxiety in her tone, "Cody? Amanda? Sebastian? Are you guys alright?"

Amanda: She nodded, still shocked by the unannounced departure of the plane. "Yeah... I-I'm fine."

Cody: That was weird. That wasn't supposed to happen. Was that supposed to happen? He gripped firmly on Sebastian's hand which was on the handrest as the plane took off, his eyes wide open. He wasn't worried he was going to die, but he was afraid that if the plane did crash down, of all the others who would die with him. It finally went smoothly as it went up in the air. It was only his second time flying so he shouted. "HOLY F--DEAR MOTHER OF SWEET BABY JESUS IN NAZARETH WHAT IN THE HOLY HELL WAS THAT!?". He let go of Sebastian's hand, not wanting to comment on it.

Sebastian: He scowled at Cody and wiped the hand Cody held on his shirt with a slight frown but he looked as if no turbulence had just happened and then rummaged through his bags for his ipod and quickly stuffed the earbuds into his ears to block them all out.

Paige: It was a relief to see that they're alright. She sat back and thought about the turbulence that happened. She didn't think it was normal. We're they conducting a test or something? She hoped that it won't happen again. She wanted all of them to arrive to Madrid in one piece.

Amanda: She looks around, her expression hesitating. The mortals seemed indifferent. It wasn't normal. Maybe... She thought. Maybe it was a trick from the mist. Either way, something wasn't quite right.

Cody: Something wasn't right. He stood up to go to the lavatory but realized something else-- these people. Their lifespans.. Some of them are just hours-- no, something must've been wrong with him. It's impossible. He rubbed his eyes and went ahead to the lavatory to wash his face.

Paige: She tried to relax. She actually felt tired because she'd been lacking hours of sleep lately. She'd wake up in the middle of the night because of her 'nightmares'. A few seconds later, her eyelids felt heavy. She rubbed her eyes, not wanting to fall asleep. As much as possible, she wanted to keep an eye out. She was afraid that even for a second she closes her eyes, something might happen to the others. But her body was really tired and needed to recharge. I guess there's nothing wrong with taking a nap, right? she thought. She grabbed her bag and hugged it. Later, she fell asleep.

Sebastian: He gazed around the aeroplane then turned back to his phone and began to play candry crush but kept an eye on the people around him, especially Cody since he was not with them, Sebastian thought it would be best to keep an eye on him due to him being around the people, Sebastian didn't trust the people around him but then again he doesn't really trust anyone, so he could be wrong. In fact the only reason he was on the quest was so he could try get a wish from the Gods and see if they could help him.

Paige: She thought going to sleep will make her feel better. She was wrong. It only made things worse.

Dream[]

Ominous Voice: "Paige."

Paige: She woke with a start but she wasn't in the plane. She was somewhere dark, where she saw nothing else. IIt was like she was floating in a void--only she wasn't really floating. More of stepping on a dark floor, which wasn't even visible.

OV: "Paige."

Paige: She looked around cautiously but saw no one. She tried to take out her pocket watch (her weapon) but it wasn't anywhere in her pockets. "I'm getting tired of you! What is it this time?" She shouted at the disembodied voice.

OV: "I just want to congratulate you, my child, for being able to have the courage to even start this quest."

Paige: "I'm only doing this because you promised me I'd get my father!"

OV: "Yes, yes. You will," it said, "But if you do try to break our deal... say goodbye to your daddy." The voice laughed maliciously.

Paige: "How dare you!" She was feeling so enraged like she really wanted to kill whoever was speaking.

OV: "Oh... and Paige? If I were you... I'd wake up."

Then another disembodied voice spoke. "Hello, child."

Back to Airplane[]

Paige: She felt hands... no wait... talons strangle her neck, which woke her up. "Ah!" she groaned in pain and she was choking. She saw it was one of the old ladies who were sitting there. Her hands became like those of a bird. She had a malicious look in her eyes. She gripped the lady's wrists trying to escape her grasp.

Old lady: She tightened her grip and raised Paige. "Our lord has sent orders to get rid of you." Even her voice sounded very threatening.

Paige: "W-what?" She could hardly speak.

Old lady: "Don't worry, child. This will be very quick," she did a sinister smile as she turned into her true form--a fury.

Another one of the furies had already started to attack Amanda. Then another old lady just came out of the cockpit and slowly transformed into another fury.

Fury3 (NOT the one attacking Amanda) : "YEEES! Kill them all!"

The remaining mortals were nothing but a trick of the mist. This trip was a trap.

Sebastian: He wasn't asleep, he had been awake the whole entire time though he looked tired, he didn't say a thing about the old womans turning into furies and the mortals disappearing into mist he just watched on as they attacked Paige but only when the second fury said 'kill them all' did he spring to action, pressing on his watch his sword sprang out and he sliced at the closes fury, which happened to be the second fury.

Paige: As she was being strangled, she reached for her pocket watch, which was, thankfully, in her pocket. She took it out and opened it, quickly a crossbow unfolded. She aimed the crossbow right on the Fury's head. "Die, old hag!" She pulled the trigger. Since the fury was so close to her, it didn't have enough time to avoid the arrow, thus it disintegrated into golden dust.

As soon as she was released, she coughed with her hand holding her throat. She looked around the plane and there were still two furies left to deal with.

Fury3: It turned to Paige and bared its teeth, which looked very sharp. It snarled at Paige and flew towards her. It slashed aiming for Paige's head.

Paige: She managed to dodge it but then she was caught by the shoulder. "AAH!" She exclaimed in pain.

Fury3: "You know demigod, if you just stay still, this will all be quick," it said with a mischievous smile.

Paige: She held her shoulder trying to stop it from bleeding. "I don't want it quick," she said, "Let's take it slow, shall we?"

Fury3: "Then I shall give you the slow death you are asking for! Prepare to go to the Underworld daughter of Demeter!" Again, she flew towards her clawing the air, missing Paige with a few inches.

Paige: She just kept on dodging and backing away. She tried to aim her crossbow at the fury but then it seemed to be moving faster. She couldn't get a good angle.

Fury3: It backhanded Paige's crossbow, disarming her. "Stop--moving!" It seemed to be running out of patience. It was very eager in getting rid of the child of Demeter. It lunged and started attacking with its fiery whips.

Paige: She gasped. She stumbled backwards and instead of her being hit by the whip, it broke the door to the cockpit.

Fury3: It attacked with another fiery whip.

Paige: She rolled to the side then she scuttled to that room. "What--!?" She was shocked to see that there were actually no pilots.

Fury3: It rushed to the room, as well, following Paige. "There is no escape for you now. Just give up and die."

Paige: She looked around feeling quite frantic but she knew that panicking won't make things better. She tried to calm herself and thought of something. "Oh, you know it's the end for both of us."

Fury3: She hissed, "What are you talking about?"

Paige: "No pilot. We're all gonna die," she said trying to buy herself some time.

Amanda: She was too shocked to react for the first few seconds. It all happened so fast. But she was able to analyze the situation, and determined that they were actually being attacked by 3 furies. The second fury had inserted her claws into Amanda's skin, so she tried to ignore the pain. Her instinct was to take her sword out, which was surprisingly hidden in her purse. But, of course, Sebastian had already attacked the fury before she had the chance to do anything. Unable to react, she listened to Paige's words. No pilot? She mentally noted to "thank" Sebastian for that so-called promo.

Cody: Everything was going to hell, the people suddenly disappeared as they turned out to be an illusion of the mist. He knew it, he knew something was wrong. tried to help out but everyone already seemed busy with their own furies. No pilot, we're all going to die. He turned around, looking at where the fury and Paige ws, eyes growing wide. No way. He pulled on his necklace, hitting something on it so it would turn into a sword as he walked towards the pilot's cabin. Seeing that they weren't fighting, he asked. "Paige, what's going on...?" He looked warily at the fury, ready to attack if it decides to spring at them.

Meanwhile

Fury2 (the one who attacked Amanda): It did not disintegrate just yet. It managed to fly away, dodging Sebastian's attack. It only made it angrier. It flew towards Sebastian with hatred in its eyes, its talons ready to rip him to shreds. "AAAAH!" It shrieked.

Sebastian: He looked up and leapt out of the seat, as he had retracted his sword back into a watch he pressed it and it opened up and flew into the air but he grabbed the hilt and when the fury was in his seat he had one hand on the hilt and the other on the knob and smashed it down into the furies back, and he only did this in a matter of seconds.

Fury2: It was a critical hit and immediately disintegrated the fury into gold dust.

Back to Paige vs. the Fury

Fury3: It laughed in ridicule. "You think I do not know you are bluffing? I've set this thing on auto-pilot."

Paige: She heard and saw Cody but didn't want to give the fury a hint that he was there. She tried to keep it focused on her. "Wow. I didn't know you have a brain at all," she insulted the fury.

Fury3: "Shut it!" It attacked with its fiery whip once more but this time it was more infuriated than before for being insulted.

Paige: "WHOA!" She jumped to the side and she fell to the ground hitting it with her shoulder that was wounded. She grunted in pain. The attack missed her again but it hit the controls and it was destroyed. They were both shocked at what happened. Paige's eyes widened as she saw the controls just got toasted by fury whip. "Nice move, genius. Now... what were you saying with the auto-pilot again?"

Fury3: "THAT'S IT!" It raised its talons ready to attack Paige again.

Cody: Things were happening too quickly, with what the fury did to Paige, and what happened to the controls, he knew for sure that they were screwed. "OKAY THAT'S IT, YOU'RE GONNA GO." He shouted before running the fury through. He stabbed it square in the back with his sword before it could hit Paige.

Fury3: It looked over its shoulder and gasped as it saw Cody. Paige did a great job in keeping it focused on her that it didn't know Cody was just there. It disintegrated into gold dust as Cody stabbed it in the back just like the other one earlier.

Paige: She was surprised to what Cody just did. It was, indeed, very heroic. She tried to push herself up and sit but the pain she felt in her shoulder just got worse. She held her shoulder as she tried to stand up. "Cody..." She winced in pain.

Cody: He saw Paige's wound, and he didn't know what to do. "Let's get you out of here." He tried to carry her, which was really easy for him since he has a big body build, and took her to one of the seats. He cheked the wound, not having any idea on what to do with it so, he just called Amanda. "....Amanda?!"

Amanda: Forgetting about Sebastian, she quickly rushed to Cody's direction, hearing her name. As she sees Paige's wound, her eyes widened, stunned. After a few seconds of reflexion on thinking what to do, she kneels down, reaching for her right boot. She pulled out a ziplock that contained Ambrosia in it. Her boot was enchanted in order for the godly snack to fit. She quickly handed a scare of it to Cody.

Sebastian: He looked up at them, feeling slightly guilty but then he remembered the dream he had the night before, and he sighed. He had no choice. With that thought he turned away, slinking down the chair so they couldn't see him. He knew that if worse comes to worse, he could try to fly the plane, though he's never actuallly flew a plane before, being the son of Zeus, he could certainly try. But whatever friendship he actually he had with any of these people here would be gone after not helping them-and letting Paige get hurt. As usual when he thought of Paige being hurt, it was like a punch to the gut. But now that he had let her get hurt, all three of them would hate him. But yet he should be happy about it, shouldn't he?

Paige: She could feel her energy being drained. She was losing too much blood. She had to be treated fast. She was breathing heavily as she said, "Guys, the plane... the controls..." She got worried that the plane would crash. If any of them dies, she won't stop blaming herself for bringing them with her in the first place.

Cody: He was looking for Sebatian, a part of him wanting to throw the guy off the plane, a part wanting not to leave Paige. He got the ambrosia and helped Paige up to eatthe ambrosia. "Here, take this. God, you are such a troublesome girl. And here I thought I was gonna enjoy Spain. " He patted her cheek and headed for the cockpit, looking at how badly it was damaged. He saw numbers drop on a certain part of the controls. They were losing altitude slowly. "Uh... guys? Big problem."

Sebastian: As it dawned on him that they were all going to die unless he helped them he stood up, brushing off his cashmere jumper off, and walked past Cody and sat in the control seat pushing the dead pilot off 'Good thing you have me then.' he said to Cody as he pressed a few buttons and flipped switches, and the altitude slowly rose to normal level.

Cody: "Since when the f*** did you lean how to fly a goddamn plane?" He raised an eyebrow, walking away as the plane flew at a normal altitude. He saved their lives, but that still didn't conver up the fact that he abandoned them when the furies attacked. "Hey, you feeling alright champ?" He went to Paige, checking her wound.

Paige: She managed a smile. Even though the cut badly hurt her, besides having eaten the ambrosia, the fact that Cody seemed to care for her made her feel a lot better. She was glad her friends were by her side. "I-I'm fine now. Don't worry about me. T-The plane... how is it...? Is it... under control now?"

Cody: "Apparently, Our little friend Sebastian knows how to fly a plane." He shook his head as the wound doesn't seem to be getting much better, still waiting for the ambrosia to take it's effect. " I mean, I could fly a plane too you know. Those r/c kind." He laughed, trying to lighten up her mood.

Paige: She laughed a bit. Cody never seemed to fail to make her laugh. But as she laughed, she felt the pain in her shoulder again. "Ah..." She bit her lips. She tried to breathe in and out, keeping herself calm. "Cody? Will you please get my bag? It's just somewhere over there."

Cody: "Um, Paige. I don't think our friendship is at that level wherein you can ask me to do something for you." He chuckled but got the bag anyways, seeing that she's really hurt and handed it over to her.

Paige: "Okay um..." She unzipped her bag and grabbed a shirt. She gave it to Cody and said, "Rip it."

Cody: "I'd rather rip someone's clothes off when it's on them. Like you know, that stweard earlier? like. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayum." He took the shirt and ripped it, knowing what to do next. He raised her arm so he could put the makeshift bandage on her shoulder.

Sebastian: He rolled his eyes as he looked through a mirror watching the others, they were kind of weird but he shrugged it off. They were weird enough to let someone like him to be on the quest, and even though Sebastian wasn't on the quest with the intentions on saving the world, he was a a bit surprised they even let him come. He looked back again and watched Cody and Paige. There was obviously something happening between the two of them, but Sebastian didn't want to pry. He sighed and turned his gaze back to the window and he meddled around a bit until he figured out how to control the plane.

Amanda: A satisfied expression grew on Amanda's face, as she saw that Paige was better. But Cody was actually the one that looked like feeling spiritually better. She went to sit near Sebastian, starring at her shoes, anywhere but at Sebastian.

Cody: "You certainly look better." He nodded and stood up since he was crouching earlier, chacking the damage done to the plane. Gladly, there were none. He went to Sebastian to check on everything there as well, when he realized the fuel running low. "Is-- is that sign supposed to be like that?"

Sebastian: He had noticed it earlier, but being the jerk that he was, he kept silent about it. He thought for a second before answering Cody. 'Nope, I say if I try hard enough we could have another fifteen minutes of flying, there is an island about ten minutes away. I'm going to try and land there.' He said, his hands clenched.

Amanda: Great, Amanda thought. They were all putting their lives in the hands of a total moron. But it was their best shot, unless they'd want to crash in the middle of the ocean, where no one would probably find their dead bodies. But it still didn't assure her.

Cody: "If I try hard enough we could have another fifteen minutes of flying." He made a face, rolling his eyes before he felt a slight turbulance. "Sebastian, I'm not kidding." The plane suddenly lost altitude again, the empty fuel icon lighting up. Cody hit Sebastian's head, scowling. "If you try hard enough huh? Well you better start now. We're losing altitude again." He tried to keep as calm as possible. Sure he could just shadow travel easily out of the place, but he thought about Amanda and Paige.

Paige: She wanted to see how they were doing there in the cockpit. She tried to stand up but then the slight turbulence made her stumble, almost falling on the aisle but she managed to maintain her balance. Her eyes widened. She was surprised that another turbulence had occured. She started to doubt if the plane was really 'under control'. "Guys? W-What was that? What's happening?"

Cody: "Just stay back Paige, you won't be of any help, everything's fine." He didn't want her to worry, but he sure as hell know that something's going down.

Sebastian: 'I don't like any of you enough to actually try hard enough to survive' he snapped at Cody then sighed and pressed a few buttons then glanced at Paige 'For once you should actually listen to the idiot, better to rest and be ready for a fight than not rest and can't fight. If you can't fight, your only dead weight to us.' he said then an alarm went off and he turned back 'Crud, can't land the plane. I'll have to make a gentle crash.'

Amanda: She had nervously started butting her fingernail. Having to fly the plane by themselves was enough. But gracefully crashing it? The got up from her seat, and went to see Paige. Sitting on a nearby chair, she stares at her friend. "Is the ambrosia helping?" She asked, worried about the improvement of her state.

Paige: "Yeah," she said then gave Amanda a warm smile. "I feel a lot better now--" Then, another turbulence occured. She held onto the seats as tightly as she could. She shut her eyes, starting to feel frightened. She also had this condition called motion sickness. 'Oh gods. No please. Whose side are you guys really on?' she said in her mind. She wasn't frightened thinking she might die. She was scared to lose her friends.

The wires of the controls were jammed. No hope of controlling the plane anymore. It was damaged earlier and they all thought everything was alright but then, all had just gone worse.

Cody: As if the turbulence earlier weren't bad enough, this time, the plane literally fell a few feet down, making them feel that it really lost altitude. "F***, guys, get back to your seats, and put on your seatbelts, hurry." He clenched his jaw, seeing the numbers drop to 18000 ft. That's when he felt it. The feeling of falling. "Seriously guys, hurry!" He shouted, pushing Paige and Amanda down the aisle so they could go to their seat. "Sebastian, that means you too! This is hopeless, get away from there!!"

Paige: She went to a seat but she kept on stumbling because the plane wasn't being steady. When she was already seated, she fastened the seat belts and gripped the arms of the seat. She was scared. Something like this never happened in her life. She wanted to scream but she stopped herself. She just shut her eyes again praying and hoping that this would end soon. 'Please let us survive this....'

Sebastian: He widened his eyes as he began to whack the controls 'Dammit no!' he yelled then heard Cody and bit his lip in thought. 'No I-I can fix this' he yelled back but more to comfort himself really, he knew he couldn't fix this, but he didn't want to fail them. He promised that he would fly them there but now with the controls jammed, he doubted that he could keep his promise.

Cody: Cody glared at him, knowing how stubborn the prat is. He grabbed Seb by the arm and started pulling him. "I SAID GET AWAY FROM THERE NOW!! THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO!!" He screamed. It was true, he saw them descending to 13000.....10000... Slowly they were falling. "NOW SEBASTIAN, RUN!"

Amanda: She held on for dear life, as the plane agitated. She was too stunned to even say a word.

Sebastian: He pushed Cody off but started to run anyway but then tripped due to his foot being caught in the wires and he began to try to pull his foot out of the wires desperately but they only seemed to get tighter and tighter.

Paige: The thud that was caused when Sebastian tripped startled Paige that it made her open her eyes. She looked at where the thud seem to come from and saw that Sebastian was on the floor. She also saw the wires wrapped on his foot, she started to feel even more frightened. "Sebastian!"

Cody: He was really rude. He was risking his neck to save him and what does he get? He gets pushed away. Why did he have to save him even? For Paige? For Amanda? It wasn't worth it. The alarm went off as soon as they hit 9000. He heard he thud and clenched his jaw." Jesus f christ, Can't you-- ugh!" He ran over to the wires, hurrily trying to untange tem from Seb's foot but it was hard for him since it was really tight. "Stop moving your leg it'll only get worse!" He was panicking. He looked back and saw the digits. 5000...3000...

Sebastian: He growled tugging harder 'Dammit Brody just go back to the seat, I'll be fine!' He said through gritted teeth leaning over and began to try and loosen the wires. 'If I can't get free it'll be better that I'm stuck and die than two people being dead, alright, and anyway, I don't exactly have anyone who would mourn me anyway, but you probably do, so just go back to your seat.' He said to Cody glancing up then back down to the wires.

Cody: Mourn him? No, that's where Seb was wrong. There was no one left for him out there. "No one would care if I died so it's you and me both." He looked at Sebastian and chuckled, before calming down. "Anyways, it's not time for you to die. At least not just yet. Trust me, I'm the son of death." He grabbed a dagger he always brings along and tried to cut the wire. "Now really please, stay calm and stop kicking."

Sebastian: The wires were to thick to be cut and Sebastian frowned at it then glanced up at Cody 'Did you just find a smiliarity between us two, Brody? I actually find that a bit depressing. Out of the context, if I don't die now, when do I die?' he asked him dead serious. ( ;) )

Cody: "Huh, will you look at that, I think I did." He pulled hard on the wire, his dagger sharp enough for it to be cut. 2000... "And I really don't think I'm allowed to say that." He smirked before pulling Seb up and pushing him father down the aisle. dropping below to 2000...1000....

Paige: She could feel like her guts were going up to her head--that weird feeling when you fall. What should she do? They're going to crash. No guarantee that they can survive this unless one of them does something. She opened her eyes and looked around the plane. 'Think, Paige. Think!' she said in her mind. Then a very insane idea popped into her mind. Might work but that's the least she can do. She shut her eyes again and concentrated hard. She gripped the arms of her seat and thought of... flowers. She thought of the many different flowers she could remember--roses, daisies, orchids, name it. A few seconds later, random flowers started to grow inside the plane.

Amanda: Seeing how many random flowers popped out of nowhere, she stared at Paige in surprise. Her eyes widened. If their lives weren't at a finger of cracking, the blossom of the multiple plants would have put her in aw. She couldn't focuse in the view, as the plane slightly tilted to the left, causing Amanda to trip on herself. Trying to desperately get up, she grabbed the nearest thing.

Sebastian: He looked at the flowers then back at Paige, by the time she had made all the flowers grow he was already at a seat and buckled himself in. He had already figured out why the flowers were there but he knew it was a slim chance but he didn't argue, no point to it really. He settled down and glanced up hoping to see Cody in his seat.

Salamanca (Fields)[]

Cody: His ears began to hurt, he ran to a seat oacross Sebastian's. He buckled in exactly as the plane crashed. The last image he saw were the flowers beginning to sprout. Would it help? Yeah, it would. At least he knew tat none of them were gonna die. But that doesn't man no one was gona get hurt. Shrapnels began flying in all directions as the plane went down in a huge crash. It ignited, hitting him with some form of nostalgia-- and in that moment, he felt a familiar ringing in his ears, his vision blurred as he screamed. No, not this again. Nope. He felt weak at the moment, looking grogily around the palce as he tried to keep his sigt in line. He called out his friends' names, hoping they were alright.

Paige: She just hoped that the flowers would help even just a little. Making a bunch of flowers grow to serve as a 'cushion' drained so much of her energy that it made her vision blur and darken then eventually she got unconscious even before the plane crashed.

Amanda: Struggling off the ground, she finally got up, buckling her belt as she took a seat. Her ears started to buzz, as the plane started falling further down on, loosing altitude. She had guessed Paige's plan a few seconds after she had proceeded it, and prayed to the gods that it would work.

Sebastian: His hands clenched the armrests, his knuckles turning white as his ears popped and he felt the plane's nose tip to the ground, there was a chance that they would crash into the ocean but even though his father was Zeus, he had read enough plane documentaries to know that it was better to crash in water than land. He hoped they did. As the plane ignited he bit his tongue to stop the incoming scream, but he felt blood spurt out of his tongue and if his mouth could be stained, about seventy per cent of his mouth would be stained in the dark red colour. He began to think about his frie-he stopped the thought instantly, they were not his friends. Sebastian didn't even know why Paige wanted him to come on her quest after everything he has done but she did, but he knew that he was not their friend. He will always be the outsider of the group. Just like he wanted to be. But Sebastian didn't have long to dwell on this as his vision blurred and he heard Cody scream his name out but he didn't answer him.

Cody: "'Get up... Get up, Cody..." There was this voice in his head, he knew these were hs thoughts but someone was reciting it to him. A woman. He knew as hell who it was. As much as he wantto hear more of her voice he also neded to indeed, get up. He opened his eyes after he blacked-out for a while, he saw himself face down on the ground, still attached to his plane seat that was severed from it's original place. he coughed up abit ofblood and wondered where it came from. He looked down to see some sortof debris pierced right through his stomach, not big enough to kill him, but big enough to cause some damaged. "Arghh!" He unbuckled his seat belt. He fell down face flat on the ground.. dirt. He used his hands as a landing pad so the meta won't move deeper into him. He turned to his back and crawled out from under the chair. "Holy sh**... guys. S--seb.." He didn't have enough energy to call them out. "Paige..A--Amanda.." He muttered their names, more like croaked as he tried to stand up, looking around to see the plane reduced to scraps of metal, flames around them, and the flowers that were burnt to a crisp.

Sebastian: He was not in the plane anymore, as he had blacked out but had woken up a long while back and was no sitting outside of the plane, whether or not he had checked if anyone else were lived were made unclear but he wasn't in any of the other's eyesight and to get out of his seat he had to rip the seat out and had left his seat discarded in the aisle.

Paige: She was lying on the ground face first, still unconscious, with some flowers underneath her but they have all withered. The heat from the fire created by the crash little by little woke her up. She slowly opened her eyes, her vision still blurry but little by little became clear. She looked around her and she saw nothing but a complete wreck. She started to worry if her friends managed to survive. She tried to push herself up but her arms felt weak and shaky thus made it hard for her to even sit. She groaned in pain as her shoulder reacted to the force she used up to try and stand. There was a seat near her. She just grabbed its arm and pulled herself to it and perched her arms. She didn't really have the energy to call out her friends' names but she tried. "Cody!... A-Amanda..." Even though she knew she didn't have the strength yet, she still tried hard to push herself up and stand up.

Cody: He walked around a bit, no sign of them yeyt. He was holding onto wht's left of the plane so he could keep himself up, until finally, he mustered enough strength to call out. "OI. GUYS, WHERE THE HELL AREYOU--ugh.." He winced, coughing up more blood as he figured out a way to wrench the thing out of him.

Paige: When she was finally standing up, she looked around and saw Cody. Tears welled up in her eyes, a feeling of joy had gotten into her. "CODY!" She ran to him and as soon as she got to him, she wanted to hug him like real tight but then she saw a metal stuck to his abdomen. "Cody!" she was exclaimed. "H-Hold on. Let's get that thing out of you." She was actually in panic but as usual, she tried to calm herself down. "Um, uh, hold still. Wait--No! Sit down." She grabbed his shoulders and pushed him down to make him sit.

Cody: He laughed a bit but groaned right after. Nope, laughing was not a good idea. Especially with that thing stuck inside him. "Well, that plane ride had been a real slice." He put on a cocky grin, making a pun out of their current situation. "AAARGH!" He screamed when she tried to make hims sit. "JESUS CHRIST PAIGE--No!.. ahh.. Just--" He remained standing, because the pain was excrutciating when he sat down. "Just, grab it and-- and pull it. Hard and quick, okay?" His one hand held on what looked like the wing of the plane.

Paige: Yes, that was, in fact, a pretty stupid move--to make him sit. "Sorry," she said with a worried look on her face. Then, she thought of something. "Um, Cody? I'll just..." She put her hand on his stomach. "Do this." She shot a poisonous pine, which isn't really poison but inflicts paralysis, out of her hand and into his stomach.

Cody: "..." He clenched his jaw when he felt something on his stomach, like a red ant bite. After that he felt nothing, like anesthesia. He honestly cannot feel his abdomen likeit was jell-o. "Uh.. What the f*** was that"

Paige: "Now, sit down," she said as she pushed him down again but this time, gently. She held the piece of metal, ready to pull it out anytime. "I'm going to pull this thing out, alright? I want you to just relax and well... don't look?"

Cody: "You know, I really think I should be standing up for this. You know, first aid-- but whatever-- You're the meic now. He shrugged, sitting down. "And please, blood won't scare me. I've see worst, remember? ThIs isn't the first crash I've experienced."

Paige: She managed a smile. "Okay... oh wait!" She stood up and looked for her bag. She had to hurry because the effect of the pine won't last long. If the effect wears off, she'll have to do it again. When she found her bag, she grabbed it and went back to Cody then, she sat down. "Okay, ready?" She held the metal piece and gripped it. "One, two," she pulled it out with all her might and as quickly as she could, "three!" She successfully got it out. It wasn't such a lovely thing to look at with all the blood in it so she threw it away.

Cody: "Gah!" He didn't feel any pain, but the pressure from when she pulled it hit him like someone grabbed his insides then pulled it out. He let out a heavy sig once it got out, looking down to see all the bloodseepin g throuh his shirt. "Whoops, new problem." He placed his hand on the open wound, and bent down, feeling his knees weaken as he was losing a lot of blood.

Paige: She rummaged her bag and got her very own ambrosia. "Here," she handed it over to him. "Eat this. Not all. Just 'some'." Too much of it could kill them. Only the right amount could heal them. Then, she looked through her bag again and got a bottle, which had nectar in it.

Cody: He took some with his other hand, eating some of it. "Don't you thinkwe should bandage this up before I lose more blood yeah?" Hechewed on the ambrosia before raising his bloodied hand on her cheek, smearing blood all over her face. "Heh. You look like this Gillespie girl from SIlent Hill."

Paige: "Cody!" She rubbed her cheek and looked at her hand, blood all over it. Then she looked back at him and put her hand on his cheek. Now they both have blood on their cheeks. Ew. "How disgusting, Cody McClure." She just laughed as she wiped her cheek with her sleeve. "Yes, right. Bandage. So... um..." she got that shirt of hers that was ripped earlier. Thankfully, it was still there. She ripped it again to apply it on Cody's wound as a bandage. But before doing that, she poured some nectar on his wound, which could, at least, help stop the bleeding but not really heal the wound that instant.

Cody: He scoffed at the blood, as if he didn't have enough blood on his hands. Literally. "Oi, you better tell me you have a real bandage in there. and some gauze. Jesus Christ-- look around for a first aid kit."

Paige: He was right. The shirt wasn't enough. She had to find a real bandage but where? She stood up and said, "I'll be back." She turned to start exploring the place.

Cody: He looked around at the plane that was reduced to scraps. There were no signs of Amanda and Sebastian yet. He knows they're alive-- but not if they're ingured lke how he was. "Amanda?? Sebastian??" e shouted,hoping they would hear him.

Paige: First of all, it wasn't so smart to go out there especially that the place was very new to her. They were in the fields and she had to explore the place. She had no idea where to go but all she knew was if she didn't do something, who knows what could happen to Cody. She had already walked far and the plane looked very small from where she was. Then, she turned and saw what seemed to be a monastery. "Please let there be help here," she told herself.

Amanda: After the plane had crashed, Amanda had landed a couple of feet away from it, how only the gods knew how. Her body was unconscious, despite that she was mentally encouraging herself to wake up. It was as if she knew that she wasn't awake, but couldn't open her eyes. After a few seconds of trying to actually open her eyes, they lit. She could finally feel herself on the ground, not to mention the state of pain she was in. She heard nearby voices, but couldn't distinguish who it was as the shouts were vague. Bracing herself, she tried to get up on her feet. She realized that there were a couple of flowers around her. She realized that the nearest one was a compass flower. For some odd reason, she remembered the time her father told her about the plant. He said that the compass flower symbolized faith. An event like that would have been hard to remember, if her life hadn't flashed before her eyes a few seconds ago, where she almost risked dying. Seeing it gave her hope, a sign of luck. She got up successfully, heading towards the remains of the crashed plane, trying to find her friends. Cody: He didn't know what to do next, he was just supposed to sit here nd wait for the ambrosia to take effect, but then he felt as if he needed to find the others. He stood up with a grunt, the pain still in his stomach like white searing heat. Yet, he managed to get up on his feet and walk aroun, with the support of the parts of the plane that he held as he walked. "Amanda??"

Monastery[]

Paige: She entered the monastery without having any idea what to really say if she ever found someone to help. "Hello?" She said as she walked inside. "Anyone... here?"

Priest: There was a priest walking along one of the hallways when he saw a girl running towards the monestary "¿Quién es?" he said. she spoke in another language and picked it up as English. She had blood all over her hands and face so the priest immediately got worried and went up to her.

Paige: When she saw a priest, she ran to meet him and said in a very worried tone, "Please, you've got to help us."

Priest: "¿Quién eres?" the priest got wide-eyed. He certaily wasn't one of the sisters, he too out a hanky and gave it to her, checking if she had any wounds. " ¿Qué está haciendo?"

Paige: "W-What?" She took the hanky from him but felt puzzled and didn't exactly know what he was talking about. "Um, English? You speak English?"

Priest: "¿Inglés? No Inglés." He doesn't understand her, but he knew she was speaking english so he just motioned with his hands, trying his best, asking what she needed.

Paige: 'Oh, gods,' she thought in frustration that they could not understand each other. "Okay," she said. "Me," she put her hand on her chest. "Me. Help. Help me." She pointed at the direction where the plane crashed. There was still smoke and the plane wasn't that small for them not to see from afar. "There. Help. Please."

Priest: He knew well enough what "help" meant to know that something was wrong, He followed wer she pointed at and saw a huge black smoke rising up, what had crashed there, he did not know. It was hidden by trees from their convent. Surely someone must've heard it but--this time of the day, everyone was in the other building. Still-- fear for he people there made him do a sign of the cross as he nodded and fllowed her to the crash site.

Back to the Fields[]

Paige: "Here. Please help them," she told the priest.

Sebastian: He was near a weak fire, his foot already in a splinter as he had broken his foot in the crash, by the rolled up pants, it seemed like Sebastian had set his foot back into shape by himself. He glanced up as the priest and Paige came into view. 'Who is he?' he asked Paige jerking his chin at the priest.

Paige: "Sebastian!" She was glad to see him alive and... not so well but still--alive. She knelt down.

She saw him pointing to the priest. "Oh, him? I asked him to help us. Wow, seriously, I need to learn Spanish." Then she asked with a worried tone, "Are you okay?" She touched his shoulder then, she saw the state of his foot. Her eyes widened in shock. "H-How's your foot? Want some ambrosia?"

Sebastian: 'I already had some' he shrugged brushing her off and glanced at the priest. 'Si usted puede darnos la comida y el agua, eso estaría bien. Pero no necesitamos su ayuda.'

Amanda: She was on the other side of the plane, still searching for them. Her ears were slightly blocked from the crash, which made her unable to detect their voices. She could still hear a buzz echoing in her head.

Cody: He saw Sebastian walking towards them, about to say something when he saw the priest that Paige brought with her. "No way. I am in no f*ing way gonna get help from a goddamn priest." He looked at the priest before smiling in a sarcastic manner. "Thanks buddy, but Jesus didn't really help my mom get her head out of debt." He then turned to Sebastian who suddenly spoke in Spanish. "Oh of course, he speaks Spanish." Cody rolled his eyes, fixing up the bandage on him. He cut his shirt off, slicing it with a sharp piece of metal he found on the ground.

Priest: He did not know what he American boy was saying, and so he was thankful for the tall young boy spoke in Spanish. "¡Sí! Tenemos todo lo que necesita en el monasterio! por favor date prisa."

{{Post|Amanda|Her hearing abilities finally came back, as she made her way to her friends. She found that Sebastian was having a conversation in some language with a stranger. She stayed silent, trying to figure out what they were saying.}}

Sebastian: He rolled his eyes at Cody and turned back to the priest, trying to stand and attempted to not place weight on his ankle but he failed and fell to the floor again and winced. 'Lo haría si pudiera, pero como usted puede ver, mi tobillo me impide toda prisa, fue doloroso para levantarse.'

Priest: "Sí!Sí!" He nodded and took Sebastian by the arms, helping him up. He looked back at Cody said, "Voy a volver con ayuda."

Cody: "With all due respect father, I do not understand a word that is coming out of your pie hole so you can kiss my goddamn a*s goodbye and help our dear pilot because i am soooooooo sure that he's the only one who can help us because he's so good, ad so great, and he can fly a goddamn plane, and speak Spanish, hell-- He can even probably read Latin." Cody threw his torn up shirt on the ground, patching himself up since no one was bother to even help him.

Sebastian: He gently pushed the priest off and faced Cody but had to rest his hand on a tree or something close by so he didn't fall over 'Ok first thing first, I don't speak latin, I'm Greek not Roman. And he said he's coming back with help, alright? So get over it.' he snapped at Cody.

Cody: He scowled, tying up the bandage once he was done fixing it snapped back "Yeah, you're Greek, and you just happen to speak Spanish. And hapen to know how to fly a plane. Wow, you really are a gift from God aren' you? 'cause you're just so perfect. You know what, I don't need this. I'm out. Since you're everything the need and are going to need, I'm done with this quest." He looked at the priest and winked. "Hey buddy, do you believe in magic? Watch this." Cody suddenly disappeared in front of their eyes, shadow travelling out of there, and to a nearby hotel. "Crap, I forgot my stuff.".

Sebastian: At each accusation of being 'perfect' he began to think of the reasons he's not. He's cursed to have no friends at all. He knows Spanish because his brother drilled it into him. He doesn't really know how to fly a plane but he's a son of Zeus, and a gift from the Gods? He knows his father doesn't really like him let alone the other Gods. He clenched his teeth turning away 'Whatever....' he trailed off thinking of the quest now then glanced at Cody's stuff but didn't say anything. 'Can we just go?'

Paige: "Cody wait--!" She tried to catch up to him but was too late. She got all the way to the monastery just to get help and now the one who needed help the most just got away. She turned to Sebastian with an annoyed look on her face. "Don't you have anything better to do than argue with him!?" she blurted out. She turned away and started to mumble, "Gods! Now I have no idea where he is!"

Cody: He clicked his tongue, noticing that a few people were staring at him wide-eyed. Sure, he had a bandage wrapped around his stomach where there wad a gaping wound, and sure that both his hands were bloody and the bandage even bloodier, but what he noticed was that he didn't have a shirt on. He groaned, opening the door to a hotel, not the fancy kind-- it was more like an old hotel from the 18th centry. MAde out of bricks and wooden planks, the smell of wood filling the air. He walked towards the reception area, where the young girl dropped her phone, gawking at him. "Do you speak English?" He asked. "Y--yes. English! You sir are okay?" She struggled to speak, obviously trying to hide the fact that she was staring at the wound. "Yes I'm okay, listen sweetie, I need a room. Quick. Do you understand that? Here," He grabbed a few Euros from his pocket "I'l pay the rest later." She took the money hesitantly since there was blood on it as well. He gave him the key with the room number on it and asked "Ospital?" Cody shook his head. "NAh, I'll manage. Thanks." He winked then went up to his room. It looked nice, looking 18th century-ish . He coughed again, spitting out more blood. He felt woozy, not feeling the effects of the ambrosia anymore. "I need to get some rest." He breathed out. He went to the bed, and slept.

Sebastian: 'Yeah whatever' he said stuffing his hands into his pockets. 'Lets just go' he muttered.

Paige: "No. We are staying here," she said. "It's almost nighttime and we need to rest."

They spent the night in the monastery. Paige stayed up to keep watch. She wanted to get Cody but she didn't know where he went. She thought of sending an Iris Message to him but how in the world could she create a rainbow? While Amanda and Sebastian were asleep, she explored the area a bit. She walked further and further till she found a diner. She thought it would be great to eat there tomorrow.

She waited till morning then finally sent an Iris Message telling him to get back.

OOC: For now, Paige and Cody won't reply. Am I right, Heyoni? So as for Sebastian and Amanda, you may start replying now. Have your moment LOL xD (No, seriously, you guys need a moment) We're going to be moving to the diner in a few replies :) Don't mind the Iris Message :P

Sebastian: He woke up after an hour not really being able to sleep at all, he had heard Paige walk off but decided not to follow, if she got in danger he knew she would scream or something. He gazed around and only found Amanda, which made him on edge. He didn't like being around her, not with the curse still around. He knew what she felt towards him no matter how rude he acted around her.

Amanda: She slowly woke up, a few minutes after Paige's departure. She groaned as she felt a sudden pain in her back, that must have been the effects of the plane crash. As she got up on her feet, half awaken, she saw Sebastian a couple of feet away from her. At first sight, he seemed impeccable. He had no "morning face" what-so-ever. She would never have that aura, to her eyes. It felt like an eternity before she starred elsewhere, remaining in her dead silence. She wondered if Paige had managed to somehow get in touch with Cody, as it was starting to worry her.

Sebastian: He looked over at her upon her awakening but didn't say anything but turned away. It's probably not best to talk to her. Who know's how she would react to it. He thought to himself.

Amanda: She remained as silent as a painting, as she swiped the area with her eyes. The sun illuminated it, but the place still felt dark, with all the silence. After a few minutes of going on like this, she tries to break the ice, still not looking at his eyes though. "Have you... Slept well?"

Sebastian: He stood up giving Amanda a cold look. 'I didn't sleep.' he said and grabbed his stuff and marched through the fields not really caring if he did find Paige or not and even if he was attacked he didn't know if he would fight back, maybe it was better if he died, it would certainly be safer for the whole camp.

Iris Message[]

Paige: She Iris messaged Cody very early in the morning. Later, an image of Cody in a place, which seemed to be a hotel, appeared. "Cody," she called.

Cody: He had a dream, it was a really weird dream, He was running from something. Hellhounds? No. This was far more scarier than those things. He kept on running in what seemed like an endless labyrinth. He heard someone call ou to him, and when the creature started to come closer, his eyes snapped open. He was panting and out of breath. Cody sat up quickly, his wound hurting a bit as he moved a bit too quick. "Ahh--s**t." He looked around to see if anyone was there.

Paige: "Cody?" she called once more. Seeing him shirtless as he sat up his bed, she looked away quickly. She cleared her throat before speaking again. "Cody!"

Cody: He squinted his eyes, trying to accustom them to the sunlight that was streaming in. "P--paige?" He used his hand to block out the sunlight. He shifted a bit, so that he was sitting on the edge of the bed with his feet on the ground, rubbing his eyes. "What are you doing here?"

Paige: "Um... I'm not actually 'there'. I'm... 'here' in the fields still. I'm just sending you an Iris message and this has got to be quick. Like 'real' quick," she said still not looking at him. "Go back here. Right now."

Cody: His face turned serious, finding it cute how she wasn't looking because of the fact that he WAS half naked. "Aw, come look at me, it's not like you haven't seen me in boxers before." He teased, before clearing his throat and speaking in a more serious tone. "No way am I going back. Sebastian can handle it, besides. He knows everything."

Paige: "Cody! I'm serious. Get back here or I'll--"

Cody: "You'll what?"

Paige: She wanted to glare at him but she just couldn't. Not when he's half-naked. "Just--! Just get back here!" Then when she got a glimpse of how Cody really looked like, worry overcame her feeling of annoyance. "H-How are you feeling?"

Cody: He chuckled a bit then groaned as if it was a bad idea. "Ahaha--ugh.. ouch." He clutched the bandage, looking down at it. "I'm not dead yet, so-- no sweat darling."

Paige: She thought of going there but... how? "Um... is that place where you are... near? I mean... can I just walk going there from here?"

Cody: "No. They need you-- I.. I can manage." He flinched, clutching tighter on his stomach.

Paige: "Don't be stupid, Cody." She went to get his things then returned to talk to him again. "Now where are you?"

Cody: "How much time were you given to talk to me again?"

Paige: "Uh... I'll be out in a few seconds from now."

Cody: He just smiled. "The rooms are really great here, like-- somewhere out of a Black plague era or something. You know what Paige, I think you'll do great." He grinned before coughing up some more blood and looking at his hand. "Wow, this feeling beats a hangover by a whole mile now, doesn't it?" He looked at her ten winked. "I'll see you soon, Paige."

Paige: "CODY! Stop wasting time and just tell me whe--!" Her time was out. "Oh gods! Why can't you just make this Iris message unlimited?" she complained as she got out another drachma to make another call. Later, she got in contact with Cody again. "Now you've just made me waste another drachma," she said with an annoyed look on her face. "Where--are--you?" she asked in a more serious tone.

Cody: Cody laughed as she got cut off-- only to see her again once more. "Lookm,Paige, With every question you ask I will strip. Got that?"

Paige: "I--DON'T--CARE! Gods, Cody! It's just a simple question!" she blurted out in complete annoyance.

Cody: "Really?" He didn't want her to find him. At least not until he's fully recovered. He unbuckled his belt, pulling it out. "Are you sure about that?"

Paige: "UGH!" She quickly looked away and said, "FINE! You asked for it!" She cut the conversation and the video message disappeared. She whistled looking up. Later, a pegasus came flying down to her.

Hotel[]

Cody: He sunk back into the bed, looking up at the ceiling made out of wood. He would only slow them down at this rate. So no, he doesn't want the quest to be lost because of him.

Paige: She rode her pegasus and they flew in a few seconds. First, she went to a store to buy bandage and everything else that was needed to treat a deep wound then they flew again in search of the hotel Cody was staying at. She saw a building and it seemed like a legit hotel although she wasn't sure if that was it. She asked her pegasus to land in front of it. She looked around and saw a poster showing how the rooms looked and surprisingly, it was exactly the same with what she saw in the Iris Message. "Hm... okay. Michael, thank you. You can go back now." The pegasus neighed then flew away. She asked at the reception if they had a customer checked in with the name Cody McClure and well, she was successful. As she arrived at the right floor and the right room. She kicked the door open.

Cody: It was getting hot so he really took off his jeans so he could wash off for a bit. He felt a home like that. Walking around the room only in his black plaid boxers. He was abou to fix the blanket when the door suddenly burst open assuming that it's only made out of wood. "JESUS! DON'T YOU KNOCK?!?!?!" His shouting made things worse, He bit the inside of his cheek to swallow down the pain.

Paige: She just glared at him and then walked in his room completely ignoring what he said. She threw his things and the medical stuff she just bought on his bed.

Cody: "What the hell are all these for?" He looked at the stuff she brought,clearly knowing it was for him.

Paige: She rolled her eyes. She was completely infuriated and when she's at that state, she's not really in the mood for talking. "Sit." She pointed to his bed.

Cody: He sat down obeyingly. "Why are you doing this, Paige?"

Paige: She ignored his question and just got the bandage from the plastic bag. Her face showed no emotion at all.

Cody: "Paige." He said her name once again, looking at her. "Thank you."

Paige: "Have you cleaned your wound?" she asked, not looking at him, while taking out the rest of the stuff she bought. Again, she completely ignored what he said.

Cody: ".... No."

Paige: "Then do so. Take a quick shower," she said, "And get dressed right after." She didn't know what she was doing, why she felt so angry. She didn't think anyone would make her that angry before.

Cody: "Stupid, I can't wash a wound this deep. Peroxide.Grab some peroxide or something to clean it."

Paige: She sighed and got a peroxide out of the plastic bag as well then threw it at him.

Cody: "Okay good." He started undressing the bandage and saw that his wound was ooking better thn before, but still hurts like hell. He put the old bandage on the floor the lay down. "Okay, pour some Peroxide on the wound. " He clutched the bedsheets, knowing it would burn like the fires of hell.

Paige: Without showing any reaction on her face--at all, she took the peroxide and carefully poured some on his wound.

Cody: "ngh..!!!!!!!!" He clenched his jaw as the wound formed some small bubbles and makes a sizzling sound, he kept his eyes tightly shut, not thinking about the pain. "Jesus Christ." He hissed, taking deep breaths.

Paige: She stopped pouring the peroxide and put it on top of a table near the bed. She could not bear doing this anymore. She could not hide her feelings forever. "Are you okay? I-I'm sorry," she said now with a worried look on her face.

Cody: "Yeah j-just.." His whole face was red. It hurt a lot more than he thought it would. In the movies, they made it look bad. In reality, it was literally hell. He wasn't exaggerating. "Just.. finish it.. please.." He stared at the ceiling, still finding his breath.

Paige: "Okay," she muttered. She took the peroxide again and poured just the right amount then she stopped again.

Cody: He clenched his jaw once more, his body involuntarily jerking away from the chemical. "Stop.. That's enough.. please.." He gripped her wrist, hoping for her to just go to the next step. "Now, go dress this wound or something, I'm legit tired." He covered his eyes with his hands, huffing.

Paige: She just took the bandage and wrapped it around his waist hoping he'd feel better. "Just lie down and rest."

Cody: "That's what I was doing." He smiled, looking up at her. "And then you come busting into the door."

Paige: She looked away and a hint of annoyance had shown on her face again. She stood up and went to sit on the floor not really knowing what to do now.

Cody: He raised an eyebrow, not really sue if he said something to offend her. "I can never understand girls."

Paige: She got mad because of the things Cody did. One, he went away without even telling her. And two, when she asked a very simple question, he refused to answer it and didn't seem to take it seriously. She just didn't want any of her companions to be out of her sight. Knowing someone might actually die, she wanted to be extra careful and so as much as possible, no one should separate from the group. Then, she remembered Sebastian and Amanda out there alone.

She stood up and walked to the door. Just before she went out, she turned to Cody and said, "I just remembered... we really need to go. I'll wait for you outside." When she was about to take another step, she rummaged her bag and got another piece of ambrosia. "Here," she said giving it to Cody. "Take some more. It'll help." Then, she walked out and was about to close the door behind her.

Cody: He sat up once she was done dressing the wound. He sensed that she was mad-- no-- she was scared. He took the ambrosia she gave him, eating it before speaking. "Paige, you know, it's okay to be scared. I get scared too." He said in the most understanding tone that he can, before she walked out the door completely. He stood up, going to the restroom to the bathroom to wash his face, and some parts of his body before dressing up.

Paige: "Scared of what?" she muttered when she was already out after hearing what Cody just said. It was hard to believe that someone like Cody, who wasn't even afraid of death, would be afraid of anything although Paige knew the fact that everyone had their own fears.

Cody: He held his hands together, a toil of nervousness and denial at the same time coursing through him. They were there, just the two of them. The smell of wood and the streak of sunlight hitting the shiny oak floor. He bit his lip as he stared at the cracks on the floor, he wondered how from afar they looked perfect but if you look at them you can see their flaws. Imperfections. He parted his lips, speaking as clearly as he can.

"I'm scared of losing you."

Paige: She was about to shut the door when she heard those words. Her eyes widened in shock. 'Lose me?' she thought. She didn't know what to say or if she even heard it right. She bit her lips then she let out a sigh. She turned to look at him with a rather sad look.

Cody: "Heh. That must be the wound talking. We better suit up, busy day ahead of us. Wait for me outside, I'll catch up with you in a while, got it?"

Paige: "Oh..." she said, "okay." She decided to just forget about that and go outside to wait for him. But as she walked, Cody's words weren't that easy to forget. A part of her just wished that she heard it right and that he meant it. But another part of her said that it must've been her imagination. Besides, why would he say such a thing?

When she was already out, she called her pegasus once more and there they just waited for Cody.

Cody: He stood up, remembering that he had no top on. He punched the wall, cursing at himself. "Hah. Nice job dickhead." He didn't know why he said that-- bt he felt it. He didn't want to lose her nor did he want to see her hurt in any possible way. He went out to go to the next room, picking the lock with a pick he had in his pocket. Lucky break-- it was a gentleman's. He rummaged the closet, lookin for something that fits. He found a white, longsleeve, englishman polo and wore that. "Jesus christ. I look like a douchebag." He checked it out using a mirror and walked down, fixing the cuffs. It was the first time he wore something like that since well-- he can't afford it. "Hey Paige, let's go?" He asked as he went out, still fixing the polo.

Paige: "Yeah, let's--" He looked amazing. Cody seemed to be a totally different person. She just stared at him as if she was in a daze.

Michael, her pegasus, was just there flying by. Because of impatience, it neighed, which snapped Paige back to her senses. "Oh, um... Let's go." She nodded. "No time to waste."

Cody: He folded the sleeves up to his elbows and unbuttoning two of the top buttons because he was kinda feeling-- weird. "Alright."He went u to her with his hands in his pocket, smiling

Paige: Good thing there was a balcony where the pegasus could land on. Paige went to the pegasus and rode it, holding its reins. She extended a hand to Cody saying, "Come on. Don't shadow travel for now."

Cody: He chuckled, accepting her offer. "And miss this chance to ride a freaking pegasus? not a chance. I'm coming with you." He struggled hoping up with his wound, but he managed.

Paige: What Cody said just made her smile a bit. "Careful." She helped him up. When they were all settled, she looked over her shoulder. "Are you ready?"

Cody: "Always am." He said in a whisper.

Paige: "Alright then." She pressed her heels into the pegasus and shouted, "HYAA!" The pegasus spread its wings and within a few seconds, it already shot up in the air.

Cody: "CRAP." He hugged her waist so he won't fall off, looking down to the ground as they ascended.

Back to Fields Part 2 (Monastery)[]

Paige and Cody had finally arrived. Michael, the pegasus landed just in front of the doors of the monastery. They just arrived in time as Sebastian was about to leave.

Paige: She saw Sebastian about to leave. She told Michael to sit so Cody could get off him easily. The pegasus obeyed. She got off and immediately approached Sebastian. "Where are you going?" she asked, "Where's Amanda?"

Sebastian: He frowned when he saw the two descend and then gestured behind him. 'Somewhere in the monastry...and as to where I'm going...' he trailed off thinking of an excuse 'I am going on a walk.'

Paige: She held his wrist and told him, "Stay."

Sebastian: He gave her a wry smile at this. Stay so I can kill you? He mentally said then paused and felt pretty grateful for Paige, though she was giving the quest a death sentance by wanting him to stay she still wanted him to be there. I wonder if she would think the same way if she knows about the curse. He froze at the thought paling slightly but he shook it off pretty quickly. 'I'll only be five minutes, you won't even notice I'm gone' he said with a shrug.

Paige: She let go of his wrist and clenched her jaw before clearing her throat. She said, "Still no, Highland." She had to act strict. She's the leader and they're her responsibility. If something bad happened to any of them, she could never forgive herself. The plane crash was enough. She won't let anything happen to them again. "Just stay here. We're going anyways," she added, "I'll just go get Amanda." She walked inside the monastery leaving Cody and Sebastian outside.

Amanda: She was still sitting in her spot, dazed by her waves of thoughts. Despite her full trust on Paige's capabilities, she was still worried that something bad might happen again. It was getting to her nerves. She tried not to think about it, but it wouldn't her mind. She heard Paige's footsteps, and quickly got up. "Did... Did you get Cody back?" She edgily asked.

Paige: She just arrived at the room then she heard Amanda ask. "Hey Amanda," she greeted her with a weak smile. "Oh, Cody? Yeah. That guy... he went to a hotel. Pffft." She waved dismissively. "Anyway, are you ready to go? The two are waiting outside."

Amanda: She nodded, and forced up a small smile. "Yeah... Let's go." As she joined Paige.

Sebastian: He watched her go with a clenched teeth, he didn't want to be here anymore, not if they like him. Especially if they like him. Other than Cody though. He despises him. Good. He glanced sideways to Cody 'I'm going to check out the area...see if theres any monsters around.' he said turning on his heel.

Cody: It was a crazy ride back, he rode on a pegasus for the first time. And it was awesome. He walked to where his stuff were, rummaging the bag to grab a shirt since the polo really wasn't for him. He ended up just taking out a pullover hoodie and wore that. He then sat on what looked like the wing of the plane, trying to figure out what to do next. Sebastian was there, and he was so not in the mood to talk to him. He heard him say that he was going to check around. As much as he disliked him, he didn't want any more accidents. "Hey Seb, take care of yourself, alright?"

Sebastian: He looked back and simply smiled at this going into the forest, he had no intention of going back but he supposed he'll take heed of Cody's warning, he'll take care of himself. He had some money too live off before he could get a job. He walked through the forest wondering if there was any monsters in the place.

Paige: When she was already outside, she noticed that only Cody was there. "Where's Sebastian?" She looked around feeling a bit frantic but it didn't show on her face.

Cody: His brows furrowed, sighing as he threw the polo down to the charred ground. The engine must've hit it there. "He said he was going for a walk. Check around for monsters. But honestly, Paige, you better talk to him. He seems out of it."

Amanda: She resisted the urge to chew her thumbnail. She didn't think that Sebastian would just normally take a stroll, checking for monsters. She had a feeling he wasn't coming back.

Paige: She put her hands on her waist and sighed. "No one is taking my words seriously," she muttered. She looked at Cody and Amanda. "I'm going after him. You, guys, stay," she said in a serious tone her arm extended in front of her and her index finger pointed to the ground. She turned to the direction of the forest and started walking but then she remembered she had to add something and so she turn around. "Amanda..." she said, "I hope you don't walk away next." She looked rather tired when she spoke. Perhaps it was because she didn't sleep last night or maybe because she was tired of not being listened to... it could also be that she's tired of running after them everytime they go away. That was it then she finally ran to the forest leaving Cody and Amanda.

Cody: "Paige you--" He reached out to grab her but it was too late, and his wound was serious, so he kicked the dirt on the ground and cursed under his breath. He was stuck with Amanda, who he was sure can take care of herself. "Look, If you decide to run off as well then I'm not gonna stop you. But please, give me a heads up because I really don't want to come after you." He was tired, and he wanted to rest. More ever, he was worried, Yes, he understood that they're doing this for Paige because they're her-- friend. But still, they all came here on their own will. Nobody forced them to come, so he wished that he didn't carry all the weight on her shoulders.

Amanda: Paige didn't seem at ease, and it was starting to worry her. She had never seen her friend be so strict before. It was probably the stress of having to lead the quest and having to watch over Sebastian. She really couldn't blame her. As Cody's words pulled her away from her thoughts, she shook her head. "I have no intention of leaving. Sebastian's just doing his usual drama queen." She said, unsure of her assumption of Sebastian. Come to think of it, no one seemed quite in their plate. The quest were getting to them all. They just didn't seem relaxed since the plane crash. She felt pity for Paige, who had to go catch a quest member for the second time. The moment felt silent, so she tried to engage a conversation until Paige and Sebastian come back. "So... I heard you were in a hotel." She started, hoping to get a reply.

Cody: He scratched the ground with his foot, tracing lines over the soil and whatever came to mind. He didn't want to stay there, especially with the silence that enveloped them. Thank god Amanda decided to speak. "Yeah. I needed somewhere to cool off or else I'd have made Sebastian meet my father. I'm sorry, I'm just-- I don't know why, but he really pisses me off. Like 'Punch me' is written all over his smug face."

Amanda: She raised an eyebrow. "Well, that certainly isn't a first. Most of us can't resist the urge to slap him. He's just like that, no need to let it get to you. But, if you do decide to punch him, I'm all for it." She added.

Meanwhile...

Paige: She was already in the forest looking for Sebastian. "Sebastian!" she called. "Sebastian!!!" She kept on doing the same thing as she walked further but she got no response. She grunted in annoyance. "What am I supposed to do!?" She sat under a nearby tree and leaned against its trunk. "No one would listen to me! One by one, they're walking away! How bad can that be?"

Ominous Voice: "You'll find him, child..."

Paige: She gasped when she heard someone speak. She stood up immediately and looked around her. "Where are you?" she said in a serious tone. She already knew who it was.

Ominous Voice: "My my my... you've really grown up," the voice said as it clapped slowly.

Paige: She heard slow clapping behind her and so she turned around. She gasped surprised to see 'him' at last. "What do you want now?"

Ominous Voice: The man was wearing a black cloak and he had his hood on concealing his face. He wore black gloves, as well. Basically, all that he wore was black his skin completely hidden underneath it. He laughed in an evil way. "I'm already helping you and you are not pleased?"

Paige: "Helping me?" she said with her teeth gritted as she walked closer to him. "You're not the type to do so! All these years you've been torturing me with nightmares of how you want me to work for you! You've done completely nothing to help me."

OV: "You don't believe me, I see." He said, "Why don't you check out the diner you saw last night and see it for yourself?" He gestured.

Paige: She was nervous. Could he really be telling the truth? She looked at where he gestured then back at him. "How did you even--" He was already gone. "Oh, that's right. Help me then walk away." She said, "Just disappear." She had no other choice. There were also chances that he was, in fact, right about Sebastian being there at the diner. Perhaps, he was becoming impatient. He wanted to get the job done already so he had to guide Paige to the 'right' way. She headed back to the monastery.

Cody: "Then why don't you? slap him, I mean." He was pretty much wondering why the hell they put up with the guy. Or maybe-- could it be? "Hey Ams, Do you like him?"

Amanda: She froze at his question, trying not to show agitation in her expression. "What...? No, o-of course not." She nervously said.

Paige: She finally got back to the monastery. "Guys let's move," she said as she continued walking, going ahead of them.

Diner[]

Paige: She expected Sebastian to be there and, yes, there he was getting himself drunk. Seeing what Sebastian was doing, Paige got disappointed and said, "What does he think he's doing?"

Sebastian: He was in the back booth, a bottle of beer in one hand and he was gulping it down, he hadn't noticed them come in as his back was turned to them but the way his brown hair stood up it was obviously him. He finished the bottle and the waitress came to replace the drink and it wasn't long before Sebastian started drunkenly flirting with her.

Amanda: She followed Paige and Cody into the diner. It wasn't the first time she saw Sebastian drunk. But it felt as weird as the other times, considering he was flirting with a stranger. It gave her a semi-disappointed feeling, yet her expression stayed mundane, being used to this. She eyed the others, examining their looks. She wasn't the best mind-reader, but she could tell that they were somewhat pissed off.

Cody: They went in a diner, and this was just what he needed. A diner in Spain-- which was nice in a way. Spanish waitresses, cold cerveza, it was a whole new experience. Paige and the others went to a booth but Cody proceeded to the counter instead, where a very hot brunette was stationed. She had apple green eyes and pixie cut. Her dark eye makeup complimenting her perfectly olive skin. He had to admit, things were looking better. Walking up to one of the chairs, he ruffled his hair, licking his lips a bit before turning his so called 'charm' on. "Hey baby, I'd like a bottle of cerveza, a basket of fries, and your sweetest smile." He half-smiled,hoping as hell that she could understand english.

Waitress 1: She folded her arms on the table and rested her chin on her hand smiling at Cody. "What did you say, gorgeous?"

Paige: She didn't know what to do. Flirt here, flirt there, flirt everywhere. She shook her head thinking, I can never understand boys. She took a breath and sighed. She just had to focus on filling her stomach for now. She proceeded to the counter, as well, to order something but she wasn't anywhere near Cody for she didn't want to ruin his 'moment'.

Waitress 2: Later, another waitress approached her and asked with a smile, "American?"

Paige: She shook her head smiling a bit. "No. Canadian actually."

Waitress 2: "Ah," she said, "Nice to meet you senorita. So what would you like for breakfast?" She held a notepad and a pen waiting for Paige's reply.

Paige: "Uhm..." When she was about to reply, she saw out of the corner of her eye Cody and the waitress. That very gorgeous waitress being so close to each other. She slightly turned her head to look at them. "Uh..." She felt weird. When she saw the waitress, she didn't feel good about her like there was something. She just felt it.

Waitress 2: She cleared her throat and knocked on the counter to get her attention. "Senorita?"

Page: She didn't realize she was staring at them for so long. She quickly looked away and faced the waitress. "Uh-- Oh! Oh... right," she said with a forced smile. "Mmm... do you have pancakes?"

Waitress 2: "Pancakes for the Canadian miss," she said writing her order, "Coming right up." She gave her a grin.

Paige: "Thank you." She smiled back.

Cody: He leaned over the counter, speaking in a lower voice. "I said--" He parted his lips a bit biting his tongue before continuing. "A bottle of beer, a basket of fries, and darling, you are very hot. " He winked before stitting up straight once again.

Waitress 1: She was flattered, in fact he gave him a smirk before saying "Got it, american boy." She turned around slowly, walking towards the window to the kitchen and said 'a basket of fries' in spanish. She then opened the fridge to grab a bottle of Spanish Beer. She pulled out a pen from he apron and wrote something on the napkin. 'ding!' It indicated that the fries were done. She took it and served it to Cody, also giving him the napkin. "Enjoy." She winked, inconspicuously caressing Cody's hand before goin back to her other business.

Cody: Hot damn. She was really-- how do you say it, alluring. He looked around, his eyes fixating on Paige who was a few seats away from him. Right-- they were on a quest. He wasn't alone, and had to focus. Bu today, just today, let him have this one. He took a wing of the beer before seeing something written on the napkin. ' I get off in 10 minutes, meet you at the back xoxo' He grinned, nodding as he took another drink. Finally. He took the fries and the bottle of beer and moved towards the table where the others sat down. "Fries, anyone?"

Paige: Just when she was about to sit down, Cody approached and offered some fries. "Oh," she said managing a weak smile. "I'd like to have some." She noticed something different with Cody. She knitted her eyebrows and looked at him from head to toe. It was the pullover hoodie. "Since when did you--" She was too focused on so many things that it's just now that she noticed he changed the polo he was wearing earlier. Then she just decided to drop the subject. "Never mind."

Cody: He looked back at the counter to check out the waitress again before noticing Paige. "Huh? Right, here." He handed her the basket before drinking. He noticed that Paige was examining him and raised a brow, leaning back on the chair. "Change? When we went back to the plane. I mean seriously, do you think I'll walk around wearing that polo? It's not to my liking. It's too-- business." He shruged, finishing his bottle and taking some fries for himself.

Paige: Right. Polo wasn't for him. But she really thought he looked... amazing in it. Anyway, she ate some fries as she waited for the pancake. It tasted bland for some reason. Maybe she just didn't have the appetite. "Cody? Just a heads up. I know you love women especially that..." She nodded to the waitress' direction. "Waitress over there. Just be careful." She just felt the need to tell him.

Cody: He listened to what she had to say, but he got confused about what she. Love women? No. More like a teenage guy's needs that have to be met in order for him not to go cranky during a dry spell. "Aw, If you're jealous darling, just say so." He chuckled, tapping her chin up with his index finger. He was only teasing--but in all seriousness, he wondered why she said that. All he could see was a hot latina waitress who speaks English. He decided to just shrug it off, eating some fries. After all, he might get some tonight.

Amanda: Out of the corner of her eyes, she could slightly see Cody and Paige's scene. But her eyes were mostly fixed on Sebastian, who was flirting with a waitress. She felt butterflies come into her stomach, but certainly not the good kind. She tried to shake her thoughts away, looking at her food. She hadn't eaten much. Her appetite seemed to have flown away. She was still thinking about Sebastian. She finally got up, making a polite excuse to the others, and headed towards Sebastian's table, doing what she thought must be the most stupid thing she'd ever done. The waitress had went to get Sebastian another bottle, leaving her alone with him, as she awkwardly took a seat.

Paige: She scoffed surprised that Cody actually said she was jealous. "Me?" she said putting her hand on her chest. "I'm not--" Wait, was she actually feeling jealous? That bad feeling... was it jealousy? No... no way. I just couldn't be. It was something else. She cleared her throat and continued her sentence, "I'm not jealous. I'm just saying be careful. Just... take it or leave it."

Cody: "I can take care of myself mom, thanks." He scoffed, waving his hand dismissively. He doesn't get what she was so worried about. It's only a girl. A hot one for that matter.

Sebastian: He was drinking from the bottle having already noticed the three were there but didn't bother walking over. Too drunk to walk anyway. He had tried pouring the bottle into a glass but had missed the glass and a puddle of wine now resided on the table, some of it dripping off onto the seat just next to him but he didn't care. He glanced up wanting the waitress to return with the new bottle, as the bottle he was drinking from was running low, but instead he got Amanda. 'Oh its you. Well then time for me to leave.' he grunted putting the bottle back onto the table.

Waitress 3: Before Amanda could even bother replying, the waitress whom previously served Sebastian came back to his table, with a smirk. To her disappointment, she saw Amanda sitting next to him, but have Sebastian another bottle. "Is that your compañera?"

Sebastian: He gazed at Amanda before smiling at the waitress. 'Ex companion.' He said.

Amanda: At first, she didn't understand what the waitress had said, unable to speak Spanish, but gathered the topic after Sebastian's reply. She was shocked to hear him, since they were never actually in a relationship in the first place, but recalled the fact that he was drunk. "Friend. Just friend." She corrected.

Waitress 3: She winked at Sebastian with a grin, before heading to another table.

Sebastian: He finished the bottle of wine then took the next bottle. 'Any reason you're here?' he asked her. 'Shouldn't you be off with Cody or Paige?' He tilted his head, ignoring the fact that at the moment Amanda was a blurred blob.

Amanda: "It just doesn't seem very wise to leave a drunk 17 teen year-old alone in Spain. Look, I'm really not going to force you to come back or anything, like I even could. But I'm serious." Realizing his dazed expression, she snapped her fingers in front of him, as if to wake him up from his state.

Paige: Something just didn't feel right. Or was she just being paranoid?

Waitress 2: "For you senorita," she said as she put a plate of pancakes on the counter in front of Paige.

Paige: She faced the counter and there it was--the pancakes she ordered. "Uh... Gracias," she said with a smile. Perhaps it was the only word she knew in Spanish. She grabbed the fork beside the plate. She suddenly lost her appetite and ended up just staring at the food gripping her fork thinking whether she should take a bite or something.

Cody: How long has it been? He took a knife fom the table and unconsciously twirled it aound his fingers before carving out random words on the table. There was a light tap on his shoulder, he immediately dropped the knife as if he wasn't doing anything and looked up from his seat. The waitress earlier walked outside, swaying her hips as she went out, hre apron off and her hair free from the work bandana she had earlier. Cody stood up as she left, gave two thumbs up to PAige and winked, before following the waitress out through the back door.

Paige: She immediately stood up and ran after him just before he completely got out. She grabbed his shoulder and tugged it. "Cody, no!" she hissed. She gave him another warning. "Don't go after her. Let's just leave." Worry could be clearly seen in her eyes. "Please," she pleaded, "Just for once, listen to me." She was actually hoping Cody would listen to her but then another part of her was saying nothing would work. He's Cody after all.

Cody: "Sorry mate , can't pass up the chance. 'Life is short, and she is hot.' " . Cody laughed, forgetting where he quoted that line from. He heard it from the television, as far as he can remember. He shrugged off Paige's hand before patting her head. "Don't worry. You're still my favorite girl~" He said rather jokingly, laughing his way out of the diner. The wind was really cold, but he looked around anyways. He headed to the back to see the girl waiting there. He smiled as she was looking at him with sly, yet seducing eyes. This seemed to lure him in even more. He walked towards her and came closer until her back was pressed against the wall. Cody placed one hand on the wall as well, staring into her eyes with a smirk on.

Paige: It was useless. "Ugh!" she said in annoyance as she walked back to the counter. "You know what? Fine! I'll just eat these... stuff." Her food was still untouched. It did look delicious but it had no appeal to her. She was very much disappointed that no one listened to her. "Paige, just let them be. Nothing wrong with a hot waitress," she said to herself then she sliced a small piece of the pancake with the fork and ate it.

Waitress 2: She heard Paige talking but no one seemed to be there which she found weird so she asked her, "Are you... okay, young miss? Who are you talking to?"

Paige: "Huh?" She was startled. She didn't know she was talking too loud. She chuckled nervously and replied, "No one... sorry. I was just memorizing some lines." That was a lame excuse. She felt like she wanted to bury herself under the ground because of embarrassment.

Cody: She smiled at him, and he took it as a sign to take it further, so he placed his hands on her waist. She on the other hand, wrapped her arms around his neck and began kissing him. It was great, he won't deny it. But something was kinda-- off? A gut feeling in a sort of way. He tried not to think about it. Still, he couldn't she the feeling off, so he opened his eyes a bit and say her legs suddenly transforming into something different. "HOLY SH--" Cody thought as he pushed her back, eyes widening as he wiped his mouth. The waitress turned into an empousa. He made a gagging sound and wiped his mouth with his hand. He just made out with an empousa. "That's great Cody, just great." He said to himself as he backed away. "Just once, would you hook up with someone normal." He slowly backed away as the creature shrieked in his direction. "Sorry babe, I'm really down for hot gingers, but you're not really my type." He said as he grabed a small knife hanging fom his belt and with his best aim-- threw it in her direction. He started runing to warn the others, seeing them through the glass windows of the diner. "OUT. NOW. DANGER. EMPOUSA." He was running as he shouted, hoping they would hear him or at least see him.

???: She smirked when she spotted one of the demigods--Cody. She walked towards Cody in a very calm manner but malice was very eminent in her eyes. She stopped just in front of him, blocking his way. "Oh, did you have a nice flight," she asked, "sir?" She had blonde hair tied in a bun and she was wearing a flight attendant's uniform. She had her name tag pinned on her uniform saying... Natalie.

Paige: She was almost finish with the pancakes when she heard someone shout and she recognized that voice. It was Cody's. She looked outside and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw him go all panicky. She almost choked. "C-Cody?" she sputtered. Then she saw that girl, Natalie, again. She squinted her eyes and balled her fists. That was another girl she didn't like very much. She stood up and grabbed a glass of water and drank before going out of the diner feeling all fired up.

Cody: He was on guard, his pendant had already turned into a sword which was now in his hand. "Honey, don't tell me I'd have to kill you too." He said, keeping his guard up just in case.

Natalie: She just laughed in ridicule. "Oh but sir... before you do that," she said as she little by little morphed into an empousa as well, "I'll kill you first."

Paige: "Um... how about I do that first?"

Cody: His eyes were focused on the empousa's transformation. "Not exactly my way of undressing you but-- okay, whatever floats your boat." He taunted.

Natalie: When she was about to charge, she felt something poke her head and she also heard someone speak. She turned around snarling then she was just surprised to see that Paige was already there her crossbow aimed at her head.

Paige: What was she doing? She should just shoot and do not waste time. Was she actually hesitating? 'Paige, she isn't human. She's a monster. Just shoot!' she said in her mind. "Alright. Bye." She immediately pulled the trigger of her crossbow aiming for the empousa's head but the empousa was fast enough to dodge the arrow.

Empousa 1: "Oooohhh a game! Whoever kills first shall win, eh? I think I love that." She laughed maliciously.

Paige: She slapped her forehead and hissed at herself, "Stupid!"

Cody: "Paige daring, please learn how to aim next time." He said, backing away slowly, gripping his sword with both hands, ready to attack whenever.

Waitress: She goes back to Amanda and Sebastian smiling as she slid another bottle onto the table and looked at Amanda 'A drink for you, miss? Vodka?' she asked in a heavy spanish accent.

Amanda: "No thanks." She politely declined, staring at her own fingers. "I'm good."

Waitress: 'Oh but I insist' she said bringing out a bottle of wine and poured it into a glass and pushed it infront of Amanda and with a sick smile she walked away.

Paige: In annoyance at almost everything, she just ignored what Cody said. She transformed her crossbow back into a pocket watch. She glared at the empousa motioning her hands upward. Later, vines started to grow out of the ground wrapping around the empousa's legs. Paige closed her fists and the vines tightened their grip on the empousa. They grew rather fast--faster than how Paige usually did before.

Empousa: It just screeched squirming trying to free itself.

Paige: She held her palms forward and shot poisonous pines at the empousa making it unable to move. It was a bull's eye. Knowing the effect of those pines were only for a short time, she turned to Cody forcing a smile as if she wasn't annoyed at all and said, "Cody, will you do me a favor and run away with me?" She grabbed his hand and quickly, her seemingly bright expression turned into a serious one. "Now." She began running, not waiting for his response anymore, going inside the diner to get Amanda and Sebastian, dragging Cody along.

Amanda: Before she had the time to yet again decline the drink, the waitress left, soon to be replaced by the entrance of Paige and Cody. He examined her friend, feeling that she was somehow different, with an extrovert aura. Amanda slightly frowned, as they seemed to be in a sudden hurry. "What's wrong?" She asked.

Cody: He watched as Paige called on her vines, ensnaring the empousai. "Never knew you were into these kinds of stuff, Paige." He kept making unneccesary remarks about how she's dealing with the empousai, not helping at all as his sword transformed back into a pendant which he shoved in his pocket. "Run away with you? Don't you think it's too soon for that?" He joked, but already started to run towards the diner as Paige grabbed him. "So, Seb can fly, what about princess over here?" He motioned over to Amanda.

Paige: She panted as she stopped running and let go of Cody's hand. She turned to Amanda and Sebastian and said still panting, "Monsters... they're...h--"

Empousa 2: While Paige was talking, the waitress who served Amanda and Sebastian also morphed into her true form--another empousa.

Paige: Her eyes widened seeing another monster appear. "Oh, great," she said. "Now we really gotta go." Seeing Sebastian too drunk, she ran up to him to assist him. "Amanda, Cody, just go! Shadow travel or something. I'll uh..." She didn't really know what to do next but she had to think fast before the enemy acts. "I'll just call the pegasus. Now go!"

Empousa 2: It screeched and charged up to Seb and Paige since they were the nearest ones.

Paige: She was being frantic. She had to hurry. "SEBASTIAN! COME WITH ME! NOW!" She shouted at him shaking him hard.

Sebastian: He had been looking at something else and he looked back to Paige. 'You know....sleep sounds awfully fun...' he trailed off and quickly passed out, falling into Paige.

Paige: "GODS!" she exclaimed as Sebastian falls on her however, she wasn't ready to support his weight thus making them fall to the floor. "Ugh..." she groaned in pain. She attempted to push Seb to the side but it was no good. He was too heavy for her. "WAKE--UP!" She saw the empousa getting closer and closer. No possible way she could ever carry someone that heavy, right? The only thing she could do at that moment was to call her pet. When she was about to whistle, another empousa broke the glass of the diner screeching. It was also, obviously, hungry. It was the empousa who flirted with Cody earlier. Upon seeing another one break in, Paige's eyes widened. She looked back at Seb and said, "Sebastian! I would really appreciate it if you wake up right now!" She continuously shook and slapped him. Actually she felt bad about slapping him but no can do.

Amanda: Great. Sebastian was passed out cold on the floor, on Paige, while a group of South American empousai were in line to eat their flesh. Everything was going just great in reality. On the bright side, that makes two out of them that have actually slapped him. Instinctively, she took her sword out, even when the odds she'd actually have a chance beating the monsters were uneven. She caught a glimpse of the mortals' reaction to the situation. What was actually a soon to be demigod feast might have seemed like a robbery, considering their wide eyed expressions. It didn't matter. They were on their own as always. Amanda approached the others, ready to attempt to defend the down to ground teammates from the empousai.

Cody: He was being very cautious, watching the empousai with stern eyes. Why wasn't anyone doing anything? He thought. He was losing his temper. He wanted to fight those mean creatures but they were outnumbered, seeing the state Sebastian was in. Speaking of... He looked around and saw him on top of Paige, probably passed out. But still, he didn't like it. He hurriedly walked up to then and grabbed Sebastian by his shirt collar. "Paige, I appreciate that you're trying to practice your new-found liberty here in Europe I mean, What happens in Spain, stays in Spain yeah? but don't you think now's not the right time?". He then tried to keep Sebastian on his feet and propped him up, his arm wrapped around Seb's waist to prepare him for a shadow travel. "I'll take care of him. You take Amanda. Let's meet back at the monastery." He told Paige. "WEll, let's just hope he's drunk enough not to feel this." And with that, Cody disappeared in a flash.

Paige: She didn't understand a thing Cody said except for the part wherein he mentioned about meeting at the monastery. "WAIT CODY--!" Too late. He was gone. She struggled to stand up and grunted in pain. Sebastian sure was heavy. She facepalmed and said, "We're supposed to go to Madrid!" She muttered, "Fine..." She immediately turned to Amanda and told her, "Come on!"

Empousa 2: "Demigods! LUNCH!" It licked its lips almost salivating. It lunged at Paige.

Paige: Thanks to ADHD, she pretty much sensed that coming. "AH!" she exclaimed as she jumped out of the way. "AMANDA COME ON!" She whistled calling for her pegasus.

Amanda: Uneasy of the idea of running away, even if they didn't stand a chance, she joined Paige, as Michael had joined them.

Paige: "Amanda, get on Michael and get him going for me," she said, "I'll hold them off." She stood firmly facing the opponent's direction, her fists clenched. She was ready for action. She just waited for the right moment.

Amanda: She seemed reluctant on her proposition. Running away while her best friend was fighting for their lives wasn't what anyone would call loyal. "I'm not going anywhere without you." She said, even adding a little charmspeak to endorse her statement.

Paige: The charmspeak took effect on Paige for a moment making her say as if in a trance, "Oh yeah... that's cool...." But then she shook her head and snapped back to reality. "WHAT!? Amanda! What are you still doing here!?" The empousai were coming. Even the other one that Paige paralyzed was getting well again. She pushed Amanda towards Michael. "Just go, Amanda! It's a command," she said rather serious putting force into what she just said. "Just trust me." She faced the enemies and she just waited... and then she bent down slamming her hands onto the ground. Later, cracks started snaking towards the empousai's directions. At the end of those, vines--thick ones--grew out and whipped their way to the monsters constricting each one. The monsters couldn't seem to do anything but squirm and screech. They just cursed at Paige. It seemed like she was getting better at using those vines. They're very handy but then, growing bigger ones drained some of her energy.

Amanda: She bit her lip, seeing how her tone was unusually serious. She hopped onto the Pegasus, not having much experience, almost stumbling back down. She managed to balance herself and looked back at Paige, who at Amanda's surprise seemed to be growing incredibly thick vines. It must have drained her a lot of energy, seeing her weak expression. Michael flew in her direction, still in the diner, while Amanda helped Paige get on the horse. The empousai looked like they weren't going to move for some time, and wouldn't be able to follow them because of the fact that they couldn't fly. With a faint quest leader sitting behind her, she gave the Pegasus a hand signal to start flying, taking the flight in hands from here.

Paige: Exhausted, she gave one last glance at the raging empousai--maddened because they weren't able to get something for lunch. Paige was feeling very weary besides the fact that her energy was drained summoning such vines, she also wasn't able to get some sleep last night. She was thankful that Amanda helped her mount the pegasus. Her eyes were already half-opened and they were about to close anytime. She was already groggy, obviously, wanting to get some rest but she just couldn't. She should stay awake. She managed to say, "Amanda, let's head to Madrid... just send the boys an Iris message..." She added jokingly, "I hope you don't mind spending a few drachmas." She laughed a bit and it was a rather weak one.

OOC: Let's just act like there coincidentally was a rainbow near them. >.<

Amanda: She was worried about Paige's state, but managed to grab a drachma from her back pocket. She noticed a looming wave of colors... A rainbow? Not even wanting to know how it got there at the precise moment they needed one, she threw the coin as an offering to Iris. Sebastian and Cody, the Monastery. The image of the two boys appeared in the Iris Message.
